    I possess three bimetallic coins from MEXICO, a Central American nation located south of the United States of America and northwest of Belize and Guatemala. Referencing the top left photo, they are the 1 Nuevo (New) Peso from the year 1993, 2 Nuevo Pesos from 1996, and Diez (10) Pesos from 1997. The obverse of the 10 Pesos coin depicts Tonatiuh, the Sun God, with a fire mask. The reverses of all three coins depict the emblem that is also on Mexico's flag: the eagle hoisted on top of a cactus with a snake in its mouth.

    Hello! Thanks for your comment, I'm happy to provide an answer!

    According to the NGC World Coin Price Guide (the URL address is listed in my comment above), the 1 Nuevo Peso (N$1) coin - years 1992-1995 in uncirculated condition - ranges from a value of 60 cents in Extra Fine 40 grade (coin is worn) up to $2.75 with a Mint State 63 coin (coins that seem like they were minted today and are almost free of marks, scratches, etc.).

    There are also commemorative N$1 silver coins, and those are worth quite a lot more: at least $18 with a Mint State 63 grade. Hope that helps!

    I will be glad to help! To find reliable data on grading coins, I use the NGC World Coin Price Guide located at http://www.ngccoin.com/poplookup/World-Coin-Price-Guide.aspx. A 10 Nuevo Pesos coin from the years 1992-1995 is valued near $6 in a slightly circulated condition. If the coin is uncirculated or in a mint condition (as if it was just recently struck in the mint), it can be worth $10-14. Overall, pretty valuable for a coin with a high mintage — almost 48 million in 1993, for example! Meanwhile, a 10 Pesos coin minted in the years 1997-2010 are worth slightly less — $5 in slightly circulated condition and $8-12 in uncirculated and mint condition. I recommend visiting the aforementioned website whenever you need to look up a coin value. I hope that helped; thanks for visiting Money & Geography today!
